Question:
A man wants to have knee surgery performed by one of the famous doctors, but he has already had some knee surgeries that were not successful. Is performing the surgery throwing oneself into destruction, or is not performing the surgery considered pessimism?
Answer:
Treatment is permissible; it is not obligatory, nor forbidden, nor disliked. It is simply permissible. Surgery on the knee or elsewhere depends on the report of the doctors. If the expert doctors decide on the surgery, you have the choice: if you wish, you may have it done, and this is permissible; if you wish, you may leave it alone. This is up to you. Yes.
